SECIFICATON forming part of Letters lPatent A1\To. 6r29,093, dated July18, 1899.Vv

Application filed September 8, 1898. Serial No. 690,490. (No model.) Y

Be it known that I, DAW W'. SCALE, a citizen ofthe United States,residing at Williamsburg, in the county of Whitley and State ofKentueky,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in SeparableButtons; and

I do declare the following to be a full, clear,-

and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the lart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention has relation to separable but.

tons designed to be used on all kinds of garments where a separablebutton is desired.

The object of the invention is to provide a` separable button of thischaracter which shall' be simple in construction, durable in use, andcomparatively inexpensive of production and one the parts of which maybe adj usted to garments of diierent thicknesses.

With these objects in view the invention' consists in certainv featuresof construction and combination of parts which will be hereinafter fullydescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis'V a perspective view of myimproved separable button, the parts being connected. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal sectional view through the butspring locking-bail.

In the drawings lfdenotes the base of the button, provided witha'tubular shank 2, the

bore of which is formed with annular teeth 3. 4 denotes the head of thebutton, consisting of two parts ab, the latter of which is soldered orotherwise secured to the hollow` stem 5, adapted to be insertedin'theshank 2 of the base. l

8 denotes a locking-bail which is inserted through the central aperturec of the section h of the head 4 before `the section a-of saidl head issecured tothe section Pins 6 are soldered to the upper end of the.` bailand' project through apertures 6' in the.

'the annular teeth 3.

' sectionb of the'head.' The section a isnow soldered or otherwisesecured to the section b.' The lower end ofy the bail is provided withlaterally-projecting locking-dogs 9,' that project under the edge of the-stem-5 and engage j By compressing the pins "G the locking-dogs. willbe withdrawn from engagement with the teeth, thus `permitting of onesection ofthe button being separated from the other section.

From the foregoing description, taken in y connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation ofthe inventionwill be readily understood Without requiring an extended explanation.

The device may be used as a collar or cuit' button or 'stud or as atrousers-button, and

yowing to its wide range of adjustment may be employed for many otherpurposes not necessary here to mention. Y

Aseparable button consisting ol' a head, and a base, the former composedof two sections aand h secured together at their marginal edges, and onesection o, arched above the other l?, the other section b being providedwith a hollow stem, a locking-bail inclosed within said stem and head,locking dogs formed at the lower ends of said bail, pins secured to saidbail within the head and proj ecting laterally through the peripherythereof, a tubular shank on the base, and provided Withlinternal annularteeth to receive the locking-dogs of the bail, substantially asdescribed- In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presenceof two subscribing witnesses. l
